At least it's replaced by somewhat usable and functional tools now, regarding the PvP tower. Mughal empire is just fatally flawed and GbG is just an all u can burn time with SC if u have the resources to build them.@drakenridder
To GbG and Mughal you can also add pvp as an example.
It was a regular box with broken tools , they removed it and replaced with a beautifull box and still the same broken tools
What I find the most frustrating is not just the neglection. Sure it's frustrating that the community has raised concerns regarding GbG's flaws in SC being OP as they allow to completely bypass attrition, the unfair vp distribution and the struggles for top guilds and not so top guilds between one another. Not to forget the Mughal empire's gameplay or the hollow promises regarding the heal all button debate. The greatest frustration is that while they don't fixing gameplay problems and major flaws in key elements of the game, more new flawed stuff is rolled out.
That been said. GbG2's artwork is nice and all don't get me wrong. Personally I prefer the volcano as an battleground but that's just personal preference regarding looks. The new GbG building at least brought some att% to the table and branching off with some additional options with the chain ability. This is something I see as an upgrade. Though introducing an additional 9th lvl to choosing an speciality for the SoH would've been better, imho. Introducing a few additional branching off upgrades for the road to victory would surely sealing the deal. Even while it would last shorter than an new building entirely, looking at the elephant in the room (pun intended).
Still all of this boils down to an pretty new box for the same fatally flawed feature. Which is upsetting and concerning. Must've taken resources that could've been used well on fixing the flaws instead of making an shiny new box for it to sell in. Speculative I'm afraid this ain't just problems in the game but symptoms of an dev team lead into working on phantom solutions rather then fixing the problems at their core fundamentals. If I must be brutally honest. I would strongly recommend to just delaying whatever new "amazing" new things are on the agenda and prioritising investigating the brought up solutions for the GbG flaws and starting to test run and implementing them into Beta to let the community have a few test runs with it. Looking for bugs and unintended side effects. After that running a few live tests on a few servers for an larger test group. At the very least if this is actually already ongoing please correct me on my concerns. None of this is meant to be mean or anything. Just meant to be constructive critical to hopefully seeing at last an shift in where stuff is heading now: community is played out with this toy? Fine here is the same toy in an shiny new box.
